Festival of Friends lineup revealed

Festival of Friends is one of the most highly anticipated events of the summer. Running annually since 1976, this free outdoor festival celebrates music, art, crafts, and all things Canadian.

Earlier this week the festival’s musical line up was announced, revealing an all-Canadian group of artists. Over 30 musical acts will perform over the duration of the event.

Festivalgoers can expect to see big-name performers, such as the Sam Roberts Band, High Valley, Shawn Austin, and Tom Cochrane.

Outside of listening to and celebrating Canadian music, there will be plenty of fun activities for the whole family to do. All weekend there will be craft and food vendors, a haunted house, an escape room, midway rides and pony rides.

Festival of Friends takes place at Gage Park, running from August 3 to 5.
